Lee Yong Seop explained Song Ji Hyo's character as Jo Hee Ra based on the impressions he received while watching the series. According to him, "The witch Jo Hee Ra is good and sincere, and grants peoples' wishes. She looks gorgeous and omnipotent, but she is also cruel and deadly."

He further discussed the idea that he does to show the duality of Jo Hee Ra's character, "I tried to express the contrast as if Jo Hee Ra's magic is hiding the wrinkled and scary real witch in her beautiful appearance."

Lee Yong Seop continued, "As a result of the computer graphics, the violet color adopted successfully brings out the elegant yet creepy feeling well."

But according to him, the part that gave the most satisfying feeling was when he designed Hee Ra's fantasy effects by unifying the witch's aura, which produces a purple color effect when changing clothes.

The CG supervisor also revealed the story behind the concept of "Mandrake," the talking tree inside The Witch's Restaurant. Lee Yong Seop confessed that it strongly caught the viewers' eyes.

He revealed that it was his first time doing such animation in a Korean drama.

Overall, "The Witch's Diner" visuals solidly support the whole storyline that goes back and forth between real life and fantasy. It also increases the validity of the narrative.
